"I'm very excited about this class coming in," head coach Erin Appleman said. "I think they'll have an immediate impact on our quest for another Ivy title."

Yale is the only Ivy League team to be named to the list four years in a row, and this is the fifth time in the last seven years that the program has been recognized. The Bulldogs are the defending Ivy champions and have won the title three times in the past four years.

"It's an honor to work at a school that attracts such outstanding student-athletes," Appleman said.
